So in my attempt to blog more I have decided include more of the things I enjoy most in life. So in todays post, I will give a run down on some of the new music I have been listening to. I have been moderately involved with the music scene for some years and while I am no longer a DJ on the radio and no longer frequent shows every week; the experiences and people I have met have left me with a network of people who still remain heavily rooted in music. Let’s get this ball rolling…

Sherwood: A Different Light
Released last Tuesday and available in a record shop near you, these guys have been hitting the indie pop rock scene for some years now but have just recently signed to newly formed MySpace records. They have just released a new record titled “A Different Light” and it is, SO GOOD! For those of you new to Sherwood’s music you will have a great blend of their past styles and there present and for those who have already heard then there will be no disappointment here. With redone tracks off of their last Summer EP and a bunch of catchy new ones this is a solid LP from beginning to end. I have even had the benefit of meeting these guys a number of times and let me tell you, they are as down to earth and legit as they come. So run out snag a copy of their new release and watch for them in a city near you as they are going on tour with Relient K and Mae (both of which are amazing!).

Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster: II
This new album from Maylene is one of the best albums to come out this year. II will being hitting the stores next Tuesday and is well worth the trip to the store. With all the southern twang one could ever want with out going completely country (by God if that happens shoot me), these guys have mastered the southern rock style and brought it to the 21st century. Those of you who have snagged a copy of their previous self titled will find this equally as engaging as the last. While it may not have that munch you in the face feel of the last it will sure as hell make you want to get up and and rock out. And to top it off they too are on tour so keep an eye out.

That is it for today, but check back for reviews of the new Arcade Fire - Neon and a oldie but goodie Brand New’s 2006 release The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. If you would like to see more of what I listen to on a regular basis you might also want to check out my last.fm account. I will also be adding more categories including Tech News and such so check back because things are achang’n around here. Lastly, a good friend of mine, Chris Gatihi, has just started blogging and has been posting some very spiritually engaging reads on his new blog so check it out here. Until tomorrow…
